United Nations Angry Birds Climate Change Campaign
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appointed the "Red" character from the Angry Birds movie as an Honorary Ambassador for Green to promote climate change awareness. The campaign, a joint promotion with Sony, featured actors Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, and Maya Rudolph at the UN General Assembly. Critics describe the event as a demeaning waste of resources that uses mobile game characters to lecture the public on recycling and water conservation.
